Today's #vendorSpam: immunology reagents to synthesize all those biologics I never make
Today's #predatory spam: firstly, can I please submit to MDPI Biomimetics (no?!) and secondly, my groundbreaking work in nanochemistry is sought as an illustrious keynote by "vivid global summit"
"Please please submit to our journal!" "Ok, which journal is it?" "That doesn't matter." "Ok thanks, Jane Austen"

Listen, you care about the #climate. You care about the #environment. You care about the actual, factual #globalwarming going on right now. Good for you.
Now why aren't you voting #socialist? Why aren't you promoting #socialism? Why aren't you avoiding #predatory #multinational #corporations? Why aren't you breaking down local giant corporations? Why aren't you #organizing?!
No, really. It takes effort. Gtfo out there and #organize already. Have grit, have gal, be a mensch and GO!
The way Trump seems to think about the world: "The world is dominated by a small handful of great powers who are fundamentally #predatory toward their smaller neighbors.
...you also see it in his tolerance of other great powers behaving that way."

BUT: "The superpower status of the US is not just a function of the size of the US military or the size of the US economy. It’s a function of this incredible web of alliances that the US has struck..."

WOW. #Predatory

Did you find the #economicblackout satisfying? Keep the momentum going!

Trump's administration is filled with billionaires, mega-millionaires, and corporate oligarchs whose staggering wealth is increasing year after year while working people struggle to get by. How are people, voters and nonvoters alike, supposed to square this seeming contradiction?

Oh wow! Thanks for this.
"Finland had downgraded its classification of 187 MDPI journals because of evidence of "minimum time spend for editorial work and quality assessment", at the same time that German universities had secured a national publishing agreement with MDPI"
Why did German universities deal with #MDPI ? I thought its obviously #predatory and not be given anything
#Physician #researchers, how can you avoid submitting your #manuscript to a #predatory #journal or predatory #book #publisher? 1. Read this #JAMA #editorial: https://tinyurl.com/v85p986k. 2. Use info at https://thinkchecksubmit.org.
